| - If you're looking for a place that is a mixture of hip sports bar, craft beer bar and great pub food, this is the place. As someone who has worked in the hospitality industry and dined in likely hundreds of different brewpubs in sports bars, I think this one is at that benchmark that the others should aspire to be.
Here are the winners: The craft beer selection isn't the biggest, but I would say it's fairly diverse and very open to those that may not have ever had a craft beer. If you are looking for a foreign beer, this isn't the place. They do have a few bottles, but 99.9% of the beer they sell is draft beer from the US, with quite a large number from Arizona.
The food: my wife and I got two different burgers from their menu and I will say that the presentation was fantastic but what preceded the burgers was even better. We got their homemade hot fresh donuts as an appetizer. Do yourself a favor, get these and have a nice dark but sweeter style beer with it. I recommend the Dawn of the Red by Ninkasi. The taste of the dough with the cinnamon and the nice crisp outer crust was great but then the warm dipping sauce that they give you just made it fantastic.
As for the burgers, my wife got a bourbon burger and I got a Gorgonzola stuffed burger. Both were cooked perfectly, the burgers tasted very fresh, the buns were exceptional and the fries that accompanied it were not standard shoe string or ribbon fries, they were Oil fries along the lines of those produced by folks like 5 Guys but without an overpowering seasoning.
Something of note for the beer crowd: the draft lines were obviously very clean simply by the way the beer taste in the glass and the glasses were beer clean. Beautiful lacing on all of the glasses, no noticeable odors whatsoever coming off of them and I was extremely impressed with the only exception that you get offered a larger size, a tall, and I was a bit put off by that because of the size of the glass only because I wanted a more traditional style glass for an IPA. But again, the glass was beautiful, it was clean and it was done right.
Finally, our server, Ashley, was fantastic. Polite, timing could not have been better, nice recommendations, but she wasn't hovering and made us feel welcome even though it was our only our first visit. All the servers were extremely polite and well-dressed but casual in their tops and nice jeans; the place is impeccable down to the cleanliness of the bathrooms and even the glass on the front door.
For those that may not like beer, there is a short wine list but a fantastic cocktail list including handcrafted cocktails. The place is a total win.
